Those eight people can only do this if not even 0.1% of the other 10000 care enough to oppose the proposal. If that's the case, then apparently the proposal isn't so bad, is it? Why didn't all those people who apparently hate "path" vote against it? You seem to assume that people who use a tag actually implicitly "vote" for it. In practice, most mappers simply use what's there and don't mind using something else if that's what their editor presets / wiki documentation / neighbors are using now. While path may have been "approved" by a minority, it's also a minority who is complaining about it now. If applications and editors consistently used path, then most of your 10000 wouldn't spend a second thought on it.
